What features do you look for in a property to make it a short-term rental?
For me one of the most important characteristics is the location, trying to make sure that it is a place frequented by tourists or travelers passing through, and that it has attractive places nearby.
And what do you take into account besides this?

While amenities are important, I genuinely think half the battle is how you present the amenities through professional pictures. Pictures are so so important, and can help your property compete against others that might have even better amenities.
